The First Schlosspost Web Residencies Curated by NETRO
\n\u00c2\u00bbDecentralization of Internet Art\u00c2\u00ab
\n\u00c2\u00bbWho wants to post stuff on the same platform as Donald Trump?\u00c2\u00ab<\/p>\n
Centralization means loss of flexibility, innovativeness, and independence, the essential elements of the World Wide Web. Decentralization has just begun; it is the logical consequence of this loss and lack of options.<\/p>\n
An artist mill is a phenomenon whereby a group of artists who follow false trends are separated from the main art party; they lose the idealism track and begin to follow one another, forming a continuous cycle. The artists will eventually die of exhaustion or fall into a vegetative state.<\/p>\n
Is the decentralization of internet art a cure or just another dead end?<\/p>\n
We are looking for web installations, web performances, or web sculptures which deal with the topic \u00c2\u00bbDecentralization of Internet Art.\u00c2\u00ab<\/p>\n
